The peculiarity of local gastronomy is that here the national cuisine of Spain harmoniously combines with the traditions of North African cuisine. And all this mixture is generously seasoned with all kinds of spices. Many national dishes in Tarifa are made of tuna. Here it is served salted, stuffed, Moroccan style, in onion sauce, sesame and thousands of other variations.
A lot of other marvelous dishes are also based on seafood. Gazpacho, anchovies, snails in tomato sauce, shrimp fritters, mackerel in Mauritian style - these are the first things to try in Tarifa. Even those who don't crave seafood will have to reconsider. All dishes are made from the freshest catch, so they have an exceptional flavor.
Meat-eaters will also find something to indulge in. Here they offer dishes from rabbit, partridges, pork. And, of course, any table will be decorated with various fruits, confectionery and drinks.
